Debate
English Devolution and Community Empowerment BillContribution
Very briefly, on the amendment tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Royall, particularly its community wealth building element, we have seen multinational companies just suck so much resource and money out of so many of our communities and regions. Allowing communities to ensure that money goes around those communities, rather than being sucked away to London or all too often the nearest tax haven, is something that the Bill just does not do at the moment but needs to do.
